Week 14 is upon us and if you are out of playoff contention, then I have you back with my DFS picks for the week. Just because you won’t be playing for the championship doesn’t mean you could win some money this week.
Just as a reminder, DraftKings has a salary base of $50,000, and FanDuel has a base of $60,000. Now, let’s get into it.

Week 14 DFS Picks:
Quarterbacks
Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams (DK $7,500 FD $7,600)
This may not be the best matchup as the Cardinals are a top defense against quarterbacks this year. But, Matthew Stafford has gained some weapons since his loss to Arizona back in Week 4. Odell Beckham is starting to come into his own with the offense and I expect the Rams to come out firing this week against the Cardinals.
Ryan Tannehill, Tennessee Titans (DK $6,400 FD $7,300)
I know Ryan Tannehill has been off and on all year, but this is the week he shows up for your team. They are at home against the Jaguars, which will be in Tannehill’s favor. Sometimes you just have a gut feeling a player is going to go off and I like Tannehill this week. I expect the defense to focus on the run game, leaving the passing game open.
Other Value Pick: Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys (DK $6,700 FD $8,100)
Running Backs
Antonio Gibson, Washington Football Team (DK $6,000 FD $7,400)
Antonio Gibson is finally looking like how he should have looked at the beginning of the season. This week Gibson has the Cowboys who aren’t that great against the run. Gibson has scored in the double digits in back-to-back weeks. Washington hasn’t been great in the passing game, so expect Gibson to go off this week.
Leonard Fournette, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (DK $7,400 FD $7,600)
Leonard Fournette could finish as the RB1 this week. They have the Bills, who just got exposed on the run game against the Patriots. Fournette has only scored in the single digits in three games this season. Fournette has been hot as of late and the Bills look shaken up as of the last couple of weeks.
Other Value Pick: Devonta Freeman, Baltimore Ravens (DK $5,700 FD $6,300)
Wide Receivers
DJ Moore, Carolina Panthers (DK $6,200 FD $6,800)
Now that Christian McCaffrey is out of the offense, DJ Moore should get all the targets. They have the Falcons this week who are giving up over 23 fantasy points to wide receivers this year. Moore is the number one option in the offense and I expect him to go off against this Falcons defense this week.
Brandon Aiyuk, San Francisco 49ers (DK $5,800 FD $6,400)
Deebo Samuel looks like he will miss another week. And Brandon Aiyuk is finally starting to get hot. He is finally getting his targets and Elijah Mitchell looks like he could miss this coming week as well. This will be the Aiyuk game of the year for sure and he is at a bargain price.
Hunter Renfrow, Las Vegas Raiders (DK $6,100 FD $6,700)
Even if Darren Waller comes back this week, Hunter Renfrow is the only consistent receiver in the Raiders offense. Renfrow scored a touchdown and had seven receptions last time he played the Chiefs. I expect him to recreate what he did last time against this defense.
Other Value Pick: Russell Gage, Atlanta Falcons (DK $5,700 FD $6,200)
Tight End
Dalton Schultz, Dallas Cowboys (DK $5,400 FD $5,700)
For the price, Dalton Schultz is a great value this week. The wide receivers haven’t looked hot in the Cowboys’ offense, but Schultz has been consistent as of late. Dak Prescott has been terrible as of late, but the Cowboys need to win every game here on out. The Washington Football team has been giving up lots of passing yards as of late and I expect Schultz to cash in on it this week.
Other Value Pick: Tyler Conklin, Minnesota Vikings (DK $4,100 FD $5,400)
Defense
Denver Broncos (DK $3,800 FD $4,400)
The Lions did just pick up their first win, but the Broncos will send them back to reality this week. The Broncos have been under the radar as a top defense this year, but six sacks in the last three games. These will be easy points on the board for defense.
